This evaluation examined the operation and management of the Illinois Coastal Management Program by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the period from program approval in 2012 to October 2020. The evaluation focused on three target areas: the blue economy, resilience to coastal hazards, and program administration. The findings in this evaluation document will be considered by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management in making future financial award decisions concerning the coastal program. The evaluation came to these conclusions: Accomplishment: The Illinois Coastal Management Program has facilitated significant progress in removing beneficial use impairments in the Waukegan Harbor Area of Concern. Accomplishment: The Illinois Coastal Management Program provided essential leadership for the development of the Millennium Reserve as well as the transition of the initiative to the Calumet Collaborative, a bi-state nongovernmental organization. Accomplishment: The Illinois Coastal Management Program has successfully worked with communities to improve the environmental and economic health of underserved populations in the coastal area. Accomplishment: The Illinois Coastal Management Program has successfully created ongoing intergovernmental partnerships to address coastal hazards along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Accomplishment: Over the course of the evaluation period the Illinois Coastal Management Program has not only developed a new grant program but has worked to ensure that the application process is open to all eligible partners. Accomplishment: The Illinois Coastal Management Program has addressed the remaining conditions and submitted the required documentation for approval of the Illinois Coastal Nonpoint Program. Recommendation: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management recommends that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources create better communication channels between internal divisions and external partners to increase collaboration and reduce confusion related to projects in the coastal area. Recommendation: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management recommends that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources coordinate with the Department of Central Management 1 EVALUATION FINDINGS: ILLINOIS Services to establish appropriate position descriptions and classifications for the Illinois Coastal Management Program. Recommendation: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management recommends that the Illinois Coastal Management Program reconstitute its Technical Advisory Committee and Coastal Advisory Group to provide additional insights into community needs and to help track progress in meeting the program’s strategic objectives. Recommendation: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management recommends that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources examine ways to ensure active participation in the federal consistency process by the Illinois Coastal Management Program. Necessary Action: The Illinois Department of Natural Resources must submit a report to the NOAA Office for Coastal Management addressing the delay of grant payments to partners, of meeting federal financial award expenditure timelines, and of progress reporting by the Illinois Coastal Management Program by September 30, 2021. The report shall analyze the causes of the problems and propose solutions to be implemented by December 31, 2021. This evaluation concludes that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is satisfactorily implementing and enforcing its federally approved coastal program, generally adhering to the terms of the federal financial assistance awards, and addressing the coastal management needs identified in section 303(2)(A) through (K) of the Coastal Zone Management Act. 2 EVALUATION FINDINGS: ILLINOIS Program Review Procedures The Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended (CZMA; 16 U.S.C. 1451 et. seq.) requires that state coastal management programs and national estuarine research reserves that are developed pursuant to the CZMA and approved by the Secretary of Commerce be evaluated periodically. Section 1458 of the CZMA and implementing regulations at 15 CFR 923, Subpart L, require that state coastal management programs be evaluated concerning the extent to which the state has: 1) implemented and enforced the program approved by the Secretary; 2) addressed the coastal management needs identified in 16 U.S.C. 1452(2)(A) through (K); and 3) adhered to the terms of any grant, loan, or cooperative agreement funded under the CZMA. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management evaluated the Illinois Coastal Management Program in fiscal year 2021. The evaluation team consisted of Ralph Cantral, evaluation team lead; Diana Olinger, site liaison; Heather Stirratt, Great Lakes regional lead; and Rebecca Nicodemus, environmental scientist—all from the NOAA Office for Coastal Management; and Tyler Soleau, Assistant Director, Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management. The support of the Illinois Coastal Management Program staff was crucial in conducting the evaluation, and their support is most gratefully acknowledged. NOAA sent a notification of the scheduled evaluation to Colleen Callahan, Director, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, on March 24, 2020, and published a notice of “Intent to Evaluate” in the Federal Register on September 11, 2020. The Illinois Coastal Management Program posted a notice of the public meeting and opportunity to comment on the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ website on September 16, 2020. The evaluation process included a review of annual federal financial assistance award reports, Section 309 Assessments, and information provided by the programs documenting how they are implementing their programs and addressing the programmatic requirements of the Coastal Zone Management Act. The review also included a survey of stakeholders, which helped identify three target areas for the evaluation: the blue economy, including working waterfronts and public access; resilience to coastal hazards; and program administration. A virtual site visit was conducted October 26-30, 2020, and the evaluation team held meetings with staff members and group discussions with stakeholders and program staff members about the target areas. In addition, a virtual public meeting was held on October 28, 2020 to provide an opportunity for members of the public to express their opinions about the implementation of the coastal program. Stakeholders and members of the public were given the opportunity to provide written comments via email or U.S. mail through November 6, 2020. Several written comments were received from interested parties (see Appendix A). The Office for Coastal Management

  • Calendar “Naturally Grand Haven”
    2021 Calendar “Naturally Grand Haven” Photo By Mary A. Angel MESSAGE FROM MAYOR MONETZA Page 1 This year’s calendar theme is “Grand Haven, Naturally,” and the City is delighted to showcase our natural environment, parks, and outdoor activities. Located at the mouth of the Grand River, the longest river in Michigan, and on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Grand Haven area enjoys a spectacular array of river, dune, wetland, and upland environments, together with the songbirds and soaring birds of prey, riverine mammals, fish and amphibians that thrive in these forested and grassy habitats. Generations of Native Americans lived in harmony with this natural place, and the European voyageurs prospered in the bounty of the region. The people of the Grand Haven area have wisely preserved and reclaimed important pieces of that natural world for the generations to come. The spectacular cover photo of an eagle overlooking the river invokes the power of Nature, as does the stark dunescape on the shore of the Big Lake. Peace and introspection are inspired by the woods of Duncan Park, a vestige of old woodlands gifted to the people by Martha Duncan over one hundred years ago. On the Grand, the sparkling waters and still wetlands of the river, photos of East End Park and the river Pictured (left to right): Mayor Bob Monetza; Council Members Denny Scott, Ryan Cummins, Mike Dora; and Mayor Pro-Tem Mike Fritz.

  • SUMMER 2018 • NUMBER 18 VIEW from the Director’S Office
    VIEW SUMMER 2018 • NUMBER 18 VIEW from the Director’s Office Dear Friends of LALH, As always, this year’s VIEW addresses a range of topics related to recent and forthcoming LALH publications. Ethan Carr leads with a discussion of the history of Cape Cod National Seashore, an unprecedented experiment in cultural landscape stewardship and preservation. A visionary attempt to protect the character of this beloved Amer- ican landscape, the new model required extraordinary cooperation among the federal government, state legislators, private property owners, and public visitors. This complex (and largely successful) story is the subject of Carr’s forth- coming book, The Greatest Beach, the fourth volume in the LALH series Designing the American Park. The Kansas City–based landscape architecture firm of Hare & Hare is the subject of an article by Carol Grove, based on her forthcoming LALH book coauthored with Cydney Millstein. Founded by Sidney J. Hare and his son, Herbert, Hare & Hare flourished from 1910 until Herbert’s death in 1960, years marked by two world wars and the Great Depression. Grove chronicles the wide arc of commissions undertaken by the firm, from early cemeter- ies designed on a nature-based model by the senior Hare to modern planning work supervised by Herbert which transformed Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth in the 1950s. With a staff never exceeding thirteen, Hare & Hare completed more than 1,000 commissions, in locations as far-flung as Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and Tacoma, Washington. We turn our editorial focus to contemporary practice with an article by the celebrated landscape architect David Kamp, whose firm Dirtworks has over the past twenty-five years specialized in designing landscapes for therapeutic purposes.

  • What's out There Weekend
    The Cultural Landscape Foundation June 11-12, 2011 What’s Out There Weekend Chicago, IL J U N E 2 0 1 1 Dear What’s Out There Weekend Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Weekend! The materials in this guide will tell you all you need to know about engaging in this exciting event, the second in a series which we will continue in other cities throughout the United States. On June 11-12 in Chicago, TCLF in partnership with the Chicago Park District will host What’s Out There Weekend, providing residents and visitors an opportunity to discover and explore more than two dozen free, publicly accessible sites in the city. During the two days of What’s Out There Weekend, TCLF will offer free tours by expert guides. Chicago, a city of great architecture, is also home to remarkable and pioneering forms of landscape architecture, from the Prairie style epitomized by Alfred Caldwell’s Lily Pool and Jens Jensen’s Columbus Park to significant 20th century landscapes, including the roof garden at Lake Point Tower and Dan Kiley’s design for the Art Institute of Chicago’s South Garden. The goal of What’s Out There Weekend is to tell the fascinating stories about these valuable places and provide the public with opportunities to learn about the individuals who designed and created them. The What’s Out There Weekend initiative dovetails with the web-based What’s Out There (WOT), the most comprehensive searchable database of the nation’s historic designed landscapes. Spanning more than two centuries of American landscape design, the database is searchable by name, locale, designer, type, and style.

  • Ravine Systems in the Lake Michigan Watershed, Illinois
    Illinois Coastal Management Program 2011 This Issue Paper contains opinions that may or may not be the policy of the IDNR. Illinois Coastal Management Program Issue Paper Ravine Systems in the Lake Michigan Watershed, Illinois Overview and History Ravine systems in the Lake Michigan coastal management zone in Illinois occupy a narrow band extending the entire length of Lake County along the Lake Michigan shoreline and into northern Cook County, ending in Winnetka. Generally, ravines are defined as steep-sided or V-shaped valleys that are larger than gullies but smaller than canyons. They may contain perennial or intermittent streams, but are typically formed when moving water incises and erodes a channel into the underlying material. The Lake Michigan ravines of northeastern Illinois range from 10 to 75 feet in depth and extend as much as 2 miles inland from the lakeshore. The ravine systems are an important natural legacy, as they represent the only remaining natural drainage systems in the present-day Lake Michigan watershed in Illinois. Historically, almost 673 square miles of northeastern Illinois drained into Lake Michigan via the Chicago and the Calumet River systems and the coastal bluff/ravine systems (Map 1). By 1922, canals had diverted the majority of flow in both the Chicago and the Calumet River systems into the Des Plaines River watershed (within the Mississippi River basin) as a way to provide safe drinking water and alleviate flooding in the Chicago metropolitan area, and to allow for cargo traffic between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. The land area of Illinois currently draining to Lake Michigan covers only 88 square miles, or 12 percent of its extent at the time of Euro-American settlement.
